Expert Answer

Wash seeds and place two tablespoons of seeds in a jar and cover with a few inches of water, place mesh over top of jar. Leave for 8 to 12 hours, then drain and place in shade at an angle that allows for ventilation. Repeat for several days.

Question

If don't harvest the sprouts, will they grow into a broccoli plant?

Community Answer

Yes, they will. Growing broccoli is a little bit more difficult, however. If you're planting outdoors, you will need to tent them in order to prevent white moths from breeding and laying eggs in your plants.

Question

Where is a good place to buy broccoli seeds?

Community Answer

I found the best place to buy sprouting seeds is from Mumms seeds. Google the name and their website is sprouting dot com. They sell many different varieties and even sell sprouting kits which include a mesh screen and elastic band. I live in a small city in northern Canada so online is often the best option.
